youre conflating so many different things but this is to be expected when you know nothing almost nothing about the material and the time period and think that grand coalitions of barbarians went rampaging through the mighty stabilized roman empire which hadn't existed for two hundred years at this point. imho that did not directly lead to rome's collapse, nor do i think it did, but it helps explain the apathy expressed by "romans" when there was no longer a western roman empire.
